Kentucky mom alleges hospital workers missed her cancer — then covered up their mistake

Kim Johnson is not only struggling with a fatal disease but also a health system that went to unusual lengths to hide an error, her lawyers say.

By Olivia Solon and Mike Hixenbaugh

Kim Johnson was nervous as she sat down at her dining room table in January 2015, clutching an unopened letter from the radiology department at Fleming County Hospital in Flemingsburg, Kentucky.

Breast cancer had killed Johnson’s mother years earlier, a painfully slow death that took a toll on her entire family. The prospect of that happening to her was all Johnson had been able to think about since she’d discovered a tender lump in her right breast weeks before, prompting her doctor to send her for a mammogram.

If she got sick, who would keep up with feeding the horses and chickens at the 101-acre family farm that she and her husband ran in northeastern Kentucky? Who would care for the three young children they’d recently adopted after raising five kids of their own?

कोरोना वायरस क्या हे? यह कैसे प्रभावित करता हे? इसके लक्षण क्या क्या हे? इसके बचाव क्या हे?

कोरोना वायरस जिसे कोविड -१९ कहा जा रहा हे एक वायरसों के बड़े समूह का सदस्य हे जिसकी शुरुआत मामूली सर्दी जुकाम से होती हे और अत्यंत गंभीर अवस्था को प्राप्त कर लेता हे. यह जानवरों के साथ साथ इंसानो में भी बड़ी आसानी से फेल सकता हे. कुछ वायरस जानवरो में ऐसे भी होते हे जो इंसानो को संक्रमित नहीं करते। 


कोरोना वायरस के लक्षण:

यह कुछ साधारण से श्वशन संक्रमण सा लगने वाला या इसमें बुखार ,सूखी खासी , स्वाँस लेने में परेशानी, श्वास फूलना आदि हो सकते हे. संक्रमण की गंभीरता में न्यूमोनिया या फिर किडनी फेल हो सकती हे.
    .
यह वायरस करता क्या हे?            

                         
                                  

जब शरीर का प्रितिरोधक तंत्र इसके लिए लड़ता हे व् इसे साफ़ करने व् ठीक करने की कोशिश करता हे तो इसका रिस्पांस बहुत आश्चर्यचकित करने वाला होता हे जिसमे फेफडो में लिक्विड भर जाता हे जो सैल्स और म्यूकस के रूप में होता हे. फेफड़ो में ऑक्सीजन न पहुंचने के कारण वे ख़राब होने लगते हे और गंभीर न्यूमोनिआ हो जाता हे. इन्फेक्शन से लड़ते हुए रक्त में सेप्सिस रिलीस होता हे जो मल्टीपल ऑर्गन फेल्योर का कारण बनता हे जिसके चलते ब्लड प्रेशर में गिरावट आती हे और मृत्यु का कारण बनता हे 

वूहान में जो कोरोना संक्रमण फैला, उसके कुछ तथ्य:

(१) 81% मरीजों में यह हल्का फुल्का संक्रमण था.
(२) 14% लोगो में इसके गंभीर लक्षण जैसे न्यूमोनिया , श्वास और श्वसन सम्बंधित समस्याएँ देखने को मिली।
(3) 5% लोग अत्यंत गंभीर स्थिति में पहुंचे।

पुरुष और महिला दोंनो में यह संक्रमण बराबरी से देखा गया जबकि शुरूआती रिपोर्ट में यह पाया गया था की यह पुरुषों में अधिक पाया गया था.

बुखार और फेफड़ों पर असर  

यह वायरस नाक की तुलना में श्वसन मार्ग और फेफड़ों के अंदर के टिस्यूस को आंतरिक तौर पर संक्रमित करता हे जिसकी वजह से अस्पतालों में भर्ती मरीजों में बुखार, सूखी ख़ासी इसके सामान्य लक्षण होते हे.
किन्तु सभी पेशेंट्स में अन्य प्रकार के लक्षण भी पाए गए, जैसे की:

31% लोगो में श्वाँस लेने में परेशानी।

11% लोगो में मांसपेशीय दर्द 

9 % लोगो में घबराहट और असमंजस   

8 % में सरदर्द 

5 % में गले में दर्द व् खराश 

आगे चलकर ये न्युमोनिआ में परिवर्तित हुए, कुछ फेफड़ो में सूजन और सूक्ष्म नलिकाओं जिनमे से ऑक्सीजन रक्त को मिलती हे, में पानी भर गया अर्थात अंग या ऑर्गन फेल्योर हुआ.

पहली मृत्यु:

चीन में जो दो पहले मरीज जिनकी मृत्यू हुई वो सामान्यतः स्वस्थ थे किन्तु लम्बे समय से स्मोकर थे और उनके फेफड़े कमजोर पड़ चुके थे. 61 वर्षीय मरीज को जब वो हॉस्पिटल आये, तब तक गंभीर न्यूमोनिअा हो चूका था. उनका श्वसन तंत्र बेहद कमजोर था जिसकी वजह से ऑक्सीजन की कमी के चलते वेंटिलेटर पर भी फेफड़े काम करना छोड़ चुके थे और अंततः हार्ट फेल हुआ. 

किन्हे हे सर्वाधिक खतरा ?

वृद्ध जनो की सम्भावना कही अधिक पायी गयी जिनमे मृत्यू का पैटर्न इस प्रकार था:

(1) 0.5% ऐसे लोगो की मृत्यू हुई जो 50 वर्ष के अंदर थे.

(2) 1.3% जिनको 45 -50 वर्ष के थे.

(3) 3.6% वे थे जो 60 वर्ष के दशक में थे.

(4) 8% ऐसे थे जो 70 के दशक में थे.

(5) 15% 80 की उम्र वाले थे.

खेर यह डाटा आने के दौरान ही बहुतो का इलाज चल रहा था जिनमे हलके से लगाकर गंभीर रोगी भी थे. 

जो पहले से अस्वस्थ उनके बारे ,में:

(1) ऐसे लोग जिन्हे अन्य कोई तकलीफ नहीं थी, उनके मृत्यु दर 0.9% थी. 

(2) 6% ऐसे लोग जिन्हे हाय bp की शिकायत थी      

(3) 6% ऐसे जिनको स्मोकिंग या लम्बे समय से फेफड़ो की समस्या थीं.

(4) 7% ऐसे लोग जिन्हे मधूमेह या डायबिटीज़ था 

(5) 11% जिन्हे हृदय रोग थे.

कोरोना वायरस से बचाव एवं तब क्या करे जब आपको इसके लक्षण दिखाई दे:

(1) यह वायरस बहुत तेजी से फैलता हे पर इसकी मृत्युदर इतनी अधिक नहीं हे. अतः ऐसे व्यक्ति जिसको सर्दी खासी बुखार हो, से कम से कम 3-5 फ़ीट की दुरी बनाये।    

(2) भीड़ भाड़ वाले जगहों पर जाने से बचे.

(3) हर 3-4 घंटो में हाथो को कम से कम 20 सेकेंड्स तक अच्छे से धोये या अल्कोहल बेस्ड सेनिटाइज़र का इस्तेमाल करे।

(4) सर्दी होने पर या छींक आने पर अपने मुँह को कवर करे.

(5) नार्मल फ्लू समझकर अनदेखा न करे और तुरंत उपचार लेवें।

(6) बीमार होने पर घर पर ही आराम करें।

Growth Hacking- A term that defines the Future of marketing!

Growth hacking is a term that is misunderstood a lot these days. Many marketers and optimizers have been quoting their clients it in a different way. Well, what is a growth in terms of your business and how you can go ahead for its complete possession in your hands?

The term “Growth Hacker” was originally used by Sean Ellis in 2010 and since then it’s been used in multiple variants to showcase the skill and marketing qualifications. A marketer who believes in traditional ideology is mindful of his experience and knowledge in applied marketing techniques and can be useful in early startup life. In an early phase of a business startup, you don’t need to establish a fully functional marketing team as it requires a lot of business planning, cross checks and then multiple budgets set to create a smooth business flow. However, the budget sometimes gets over as planned due to mismanagement or lack of business analysis.  

When do we talk about an existing business or a business that is on break even point to success or all set & going forward to the expansion, how one can plan and manage the campaign? A growth hacker is a marketer whose prime focus is on “Business Growth” only. Thus a growth hacker is no different than a marketer. A special type of marketer who is involved and informed about the effect on organizational growth for every single step he takes.

However, people will think it in another way i.e. the same growth goal is followed by the traditional marketers too or a traditional marketer is also driven by growth too. Here is a difference, and it’s in their approach. The Growth hacker is bound and focused on achieving a single goal that is set in his priority and he doesn't go for another until the first one is achieved. 

Our thinking has changed in the age of Internet, we need to redefine the term “product” which is one of the P’s in marketing. Let’s grasp it- We used to say product to any goods that can be carried easily or physically but when we say “Software product” that changes its meaning entirely. Facebook is a product and it lets you share with your friends that can not be done in a concept of a physical product like clothing, cosmetics etc, CRM is a product, or IBM has a product then how can we define them in a tangible way?

They need to be thought in that way and hence we redefined the product or one of the P’s in marketing. A growth hacker is a person that is directly or indirectly responsible for expansion of a business using software or with a group of programmers. The word “Hacker” is used to show the latent potential of a marketer in order to achieve anything that is not easy and straightforward. And in other ways, a software hacker is one who will use every possible software method like tools, API’s, Database or channel to business growth.

Know What Is A Landing Page And Why You Need It?

As the name itself suggests- A landing page is a page that you want to drive your website’s visitor on. A landing page is also called a lead capture page or sometimes it’s called a conversion form. Well, the idea is to drive your visitors to a platform from where they can reach their destinations through some lucrative perk or offerings to them. If you are a software vendor then you probably can offer them a free guide on software operations or some basic software/apps etc utilities to fulfill any need. If you are an author and writing an interesting novel or book, you should offer some discounts or basic free readings etc in order to generate further interest in your content. If you are a clothing or an eCommerce store, you could offer some coupons to meet better sales goals.

Did you notice above free offerings or things that generate more interest in your user's mind? Yes, you caught it in that way. You need to capture contacts of your users to make them your potential customers or clients. But again how you will do that? Yes, you need an entry page that can capture the details from the customers and the customers will fill it in exchange of their interest of getting some perk. Here comes the concept of a landing page and that is a must for all your marketing efforts.

Remember, your marketing starts from the base and the point where your website first appears in front of your business or potential users. Once you are done with a landing page, you need to have further collaboration for email marketing, social media marketing, search engine optimization and more! The latest marketing trend, let’s say growth hacking is also can be thought in that way. A typical growth hacking puts landing page concept into a nonconventional approach.

We will share some ideas and tips for creating an effective landing page:

• Once you finalize your goal for the page, you need to come forward with an absolute call to action. This is literally one of the most important parts of any landing page. Your CTA should be originally bound with your goal and should be aligned with everything else on your page i.e. from heading and body themed to images and overall layout. For ex. if you are a health coach, your images should be matched with page theme text and color scheme etc,
• Keep your design as simple as that. Your visitors should love it in order to go forward with you. 
• Content is the king and online marketing is the queen. Make it royal with this beauty in your mind.
• Be precise with the length of your page. Even nobody likes reading a never-ending text.
• If you think you should embed a video on your page, make sure it’s not taking a lot of time as you already requested email and contact info from them. 

And there are so many hidden benefits like website traffic, easy optimization for the keywords and more can only be revealed when you set-up one for your website.
